This Russian site does NOT feature rushed amature photography in some crappy motel room with on-camera flash or dumb light placement, little or no makeup, (or even washup), used clothing and straight to to site-slam it up post-production (ie NO retouching) ASAP. Most TS porn sites we are normally exposed to are like this...
Every word right on the money. Co-sign. WORD. What you said. What the fuck ever. You're so absolutely right.
People are so used to looking at crap, badly exposed, badly focussed, badly composed "photographs" taken with inappropriate lenses and abominable lighting, sorry, on-camera twinky flash, that they actually accuse people of cheating when they see a half decent pro job. Jeez!
I've said it before so I'll say it again: most TS photographs you see are utter, unadulterated crap that any self-respecting photographer would be ashamed to admit having taken. And the video work is even
worse.
Well, I'll tell you: I used to put my twenty-five or thirty bucks every month towards one of the TS sites. Over the years I've been on quite a few. NO MORE. That's it, finito. I'll go back to pic sharing, even though it does "strangle the porn industry." Why? Because the TS porn industry product is so unbelievably shit it does not deserve any support at all, and if a few of the companies producing it start to feel their financial pips being squeezed they might actually hire some real photographers and give their customers a product worth buying.
I would be ashamed to sell the crap these people sell. If the pornographers get stuffed for selling shite I feel no sympathy for them.
<EDIT> I won't name and shame (though it might get there) but if you want to see TS pics from a photographer with talent who takes some time and trouble over her work, check out Nicole Montero from Latina Tranny. At least she tries.
